About Trengo
Trengo positions itself as a team inbox for all your customer communication channels, and it delivers on that promise quite well. The platform brings together WhatsApp, email, live chat, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and even SMS into a single interface that feels surprisingly organized.
What sets Trengo apart is its focus on team collaboration. You can assign conversations to specific team members, add internal notes, mention colleagues for input, and track who's working on what. For businesses juggling multiple communication channels, this prevents the chaos of messages falling through the cracks.
The WhatsApp Business integration is particularly strong. You can use it for customer support, send automated notifications, and even run marketing campaigns—all while staying compliant with WhatsApp's business policies. For businesses in regions where WhatsApp is the dominant communication channel, this alone might justify the investment.
Trengo also includes a flow builder for creating automated responses and routing rules. It's visual and intuitive enough that non-technical team members can set up fairly sophisticated automations. Common use cases include auto-replies outside business hours, routing inquiries to specialized teams, and sending satisfaction surveys after conversations close.
The platform works well for small to mid-sized businesses that communicate across many channels but want to keep everything manageable without enterprise-level complexity.
